Seated in her kitchen, Jennifer took stock of the situation. She decided that she was being silly. Peter was gay and there was no future for them but ...he still intrigued her. She slipped into a warm coat and with his business card in hand, called a taxi. She had to discover what was behind this Peter. He was strange, he was thoughtful and he was considerate. Besides, there was a depth to him she couldn’t understand. At the workshop under the blaze of lights, the racing car was ready. That is. "He's ill" she replied gloomily."He won't be here tonight!" she then added."Mine won't either" replied Willow."Nor mine!" added Sally looking just as unhappy."Oh! Well, i guess i'll just have to entertain you all!" i replied back cheekily.They all smiled back at me, before Katie replied "You can try!"After that i went and got a drink, and soon was drinking and dancing with all three girls, and the party really got going with everyone drinking, and getting into the party spirit.As people were. The two women got up and Zoe hugged Susie who said “thank you Zoe.”“My pleasure Mum.”“So you will discipline me for 6 months then?“No problem Mum. You might even be spanked with Dad.”Susie laughed “oh that’s alright dear.”Madge was hugging Hannah.Then Zoe said something I thought was impossible. “So Mum, you still need those three strokes of the cane.”Susie looked at her daughter and said “of course. I wanted to try it anyway Susie.”I was staggered. Try it? Try it? It’s the cane girl. It isn’t. " She came up behind me and put her arms around me."Yeah. I was thinking of the back seat of my car."That earned me a swat on the head. And then a kiss. She let me go and headed for the bathroom."So, Jack. Have you got something special planned for her birthday?" Oh, yeah." What are you going to do?" Uh, uh. I know how you guys talk. You'll tell Mary and the next thing know Jill will be all over me thanking me for what I haven't even done yet. This is going to be a surprise and nobody's going.
